2 games moved for sky tv

[bigjonny]

Just booked the train for Arsenal, can't be bothered with Swansea now it's moved.

I am pretty sure that is being shown live on Sky of a Wednseday night.

It's not. Only BT Sport are showing a game that night and in an astounding move, they have picked Swansea vs Newcastle to show.

I am absolutely flabbergasted that Man Utd vs Everton will not be shown on either Sky or BT.

It will be the first Man Utd vs Everton match at Old Trafford not to be shown live in the U.K. for over 7 years. Last time Utd away wasn't shown live was November 2006. In fact it will only be the 3rd time in the past 10 years it will not have been shown.

I would have thought Moyes first game against Everton, with all that went on in the summer, would have been absolutely nailed on to be shown.

Baffling.

Baffled by people slating sky. We get millions from them every season and get bonuses every time we're live

Happen it's the people whom actually attend the matches are feeling a bit miffed?

I don't travel away any more but I'd sure as heck be pissed off at those games being moved if I was still travellong.

As it is, I hate Sunday afternoon matches at Goodison.

I don't mind the 1.30 kick offs so much.....but there is nowhere more forlorn than County Road on a dark and gloomy winter Sunday afternoon around about 3. 30 p.m. as one makes one's way to the ground.

Arsenal and Swansea away have both been moved to the Sunday with a 4pm ko. Thanks Sky tv

Don't forget to thank them for all the extra revenue too.

Don't forget to thank them for all the extra revenue too.

..and also to call them ***** for effectively ruining the modern game!!!

They can take their place amongst a number of others on that particular list.

Indeed. But if there's a top four, I'm giving them first place.

 

[efcfanwirral]

Looks like the TV companies will both be squeezing our required minimum number of home fixtures in in the latter half of the season -- don't tell me we'll be picked for mouthwatering games against the likes of Southampton, Fulham etc.

Nah last three home games are arsenal united and city so it'll all happen then I imagine

lol...fair enough! : o)

 

[obc]

Does the club get paid more for this?

 

[nikom court]

Is this a tongue in cheek thread or is the OP upset with Everton getting more media attention at the price of a time change?

I dunno if its a culture thing, but when our local team gets put on the national stage, the fans show better and there is a bigger sense of importance. A-game and such...


perhaps i have missed the plot completely

i take it you are a armchair fan,try planning a 500 mile round trip to swansea on a sunday afternoon.

 

[EvertonAndAustralia]

It sucks for me living in Australia, 2am starts are the worst, so early to get up yet so late to get up.
